(sales costs of $20k in the above $250k example)

Given the spring timing, consider just not renewing the leases and starting fresh.

For example, a contractor may cost $30/hour.

For example, NeighborhoodScout.com offers some great local information.Local property managers can be another great source.  

There are SO many for example (Solterra, Solara, Solana, Sonoma) and that’s just the So...and then subdivisions within some.Many developments look like they could expand as well.  

I'm looking at 3BR 1Bath homes.. the issues are what's hidden.. for example - wells and septic systems in my neck of the woods (although my husband install septic systems for a living)..I feel like I've been waiting for this day forever.

As an example, if she had a small income but the CA taxes on that income is less than $800, would she get the difference returned?  

Accounting for 8% property mgmt few, 5% maintenance, 5% vacancy, 5% cap ex even though it is freshly renovated.

For example, in DeRidder Louisiana, I could expect to get $740 per month in rent for an average $100k home purchase... but in the West End of Allentown, there are portions where I could expect to collect over $2,000 / month rent for the same investment.

You can also just wait for the seller to evict before you get it into contract, but you might lose the contract by then (the seller can change their mind by then, for example).Regarding notice of entry to show the property, that MUST be signed and posted by the CURRENT OWNER.
